E.T. Points Series
E.T. Bracket Racing is the most common type of sportsman drag racing. Bracket Racing offers a level playing field by allowing each competitor to pick their own time. Using a handicap start it allows the slower competitor to receive a head start. The faster competitor will then get the opportunity to "chase" the slower car down. In a perfect world both racers would get to the finish line at exactly the same time, bracket races are often determined by less than .001 of a second. It is some of the most competitive and exciting racing around. Racers compete for a year end points fund as well as an opportunity to represent Virginia Motorsports Park at the Division 1 E.T. Finals.

Junior Dragsters
Junior Dragsters are half scale dragsters driven by boys and girls ages 8-17 utilizing the 1/8th mile. These cars are often powered by five horse engines pushing these young racers down the track at
sub eight second times at almost 90 mph. The competition amongst the junior drag racers is very close. It is stated that of all the
registered junior drag racers in the country, 35% are girls. How’s that for girl power?
